What makes you think this is a parasite?? Do you see parasites on the fish? Please describe the symptoms or what you see on the fish.
Also, what kind of tank do you have? What else is in it? How old is the tank? What are your water conditions?

Don't stop there. See if you can see if there is a problem with your tank or water conditions. If this is a disease process, it could effect other fish.
